Contract Manager

Home Based | Monday-Friday | 40 Hours Per Week | Full Time



Take ownership. Build relationships. Drive growth.

Are you commercially minded, confident with customers and motivated by building strong, long-term relationships?

We''re looking for a confident, strategic and client-focused Contract Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of key accounts within a fast-paced, multi-site operational business.

This is not a traditional contract management role. You''ll be trusted to manage your accounts as if they were your own business - identifying opportunities, solving problems, improving service and driving commercial growth.



What you''ll be doing

You''ll act as a strategic lead and trusted advisor for your clients, building relationships at multiple levels while looking for opportunities to strengthen, retain and grow each account.

You''ll be responsible for managing key relationships, identifying growth opportunities, supporting contract renewals, negotiating commercial agreements, using data to inform decisions and driving service improvements. You''ll also take a proactive approach to resolving issues and ensuring customers receive the right solutions and support.



About You

We''re looking for someone who is:

  • Confident, charismatic and engaging

  • Commercially aware and business-minded

  • A natural relationship builder

  • Comfortable influencing and negotiating

  • A strong problem solver

  • Highly organised and process-driven

  • Credible and confident with clients

  • Motivated by delivering results and building long-term partnerships

You don''t need to tick every box. Transferable experience, commercial awareness and the right personality are just as important as industry knowledge.



About the Business

You''ll be joining a leading UK environmental services business with a multi-site operational footprint, specialising in waste management, recycling and sustainable resource solutions. The business works closely with customers to reduce environmental impact, improve efficiency and deliver greater value from their waste streams.

With 200+ employees across the UK, it''s a fast-paced, hands-on environment where strong customer relationships and operational delivery are key to success. The business is also committed to developing its people, with a supportive culture that encourages training, internal progression and long-term career growth.



What''s on offer?

  • Home-based working

  • Perkbox Rewards

  • Annual Pay Review

  • Above Statutory Holiday

  • Recognition Schemes

  • Training & Development

  • Discounted Health Plan

  • Birthday Leave

  • Enhanced Parental Scheme

  • Death in Service Scheme



The opportunity

If you''re commercially minded, confident with customers and ready to take greater ownership of relationships, account growth and commercial performance, this could be an excellent next step in your career.
